11.4.2&3 Acceptance Node and Think Node
11.4.2 Acceptance Node
Acceptance is one of the heartland laws, what can accept is man, what is accepted is feeling of acceptance. Acceptance Node is the sum of the accumulated bodies of the sentient being's eye-senses’, ear-senses’, nose-senses’, tongue-senses’, body-senses’, and intent-senses’ bitter laugh etc. accepting habits. Acceptance can generate desire for love, can be sorted into five categories: bitter acceptance, laugh acceptance, renunciative acceptance, gloomy acceptance, delightful acceptance.
(1) Bitter acceptance, when receiving adverse environment, body and heart feel being forced; with body-sense as heart, the “feeling of being forced” is bitter acceptance.
(2) Laugh acceptance, when receiving suitable or beneficial environment, body and heart are pleased, delightful; with body-sense as heart, the happiness is named as laugh acceptance.
(3) Gloomy acceptance, when receiving adverse environment, body and heart feel being forced; with Intent (i.e., preconscious-ness, Eve-sense) as heart, the “being forced” is named as gloomy acceptance.
(4) Delightful acceptance, when receiving adoptable or beneficial environment, body and heart are pleased, delightful; with Intent as heart, the “enjoyable delight” is named as delightful acceptance.
(5) Renunciative acceptance, when receiving neutral, neither adoptable nor adverse environment, body and heart are neither enjoyable delightful nor being forced, that is named as “neither bitter nor laugh acceptance”, what renunciative acceptance is. Because when people meet “neither laugh nor bitter acceptance”, the neutral feeling, people intent to abandon, give up, leave, therefore, the kind of acceptance is named renunciative acceptance.
Eye-sense, ear-sense, nose-sense, tongue-sense, and body-sense, the first five senses correspond to laugh acceptance, bitter acceptance, and renunciative acceptance. The sixth sense (i.e., intent-sense, consciousness) corresponds to all the five types of acceptances. The seventh sense (i.e., preconscious-ness, Eve-sense, intent) corresponds to gloomy acceptance, renunciative acceptance, and delightful acceptance. Unconscious-nee (ancient as God-sense) corresponds only to renunciative acceptance, does not correspond to any other acceptance.
11.4.3 Think Node
Think is one of the heartland laws, with the nature of fetching images; it generates the internal environment and contributes to the arising of all kinds of speech. Eye-sense, ear-sense, nose-sense, tongue-sense, body-sense, and intent-sense, along life the six senses each accumulates a body of think habits; Think Node is the total of the six bodies of accumulations. Overall, there are two kinds of thinks, think with image, and think without image
Think with Image is heart (i.e., mind) state that is capable of fetching phenomena, then generating kinds of lingual speeches. The state has two significances: with clarity, and with discrimination. From the root point of view, there are six kinds of Think with Image: think born from eye-root, think born from ear-root, up to think born from intent-root. In terms of environmental boundaries, Thinks with Images can be divided into desire boundary (see illustration 11.4-23) think, color boundary think, “edgeless empty place” (see fig. 11.4-4) think, and so on.
Think without Image is absence of clarity or absence of distinction or absence of both, in either the aggregative heart or the being aggregated environment. Think without Image can be categorized into the following three types:
(1) Think of not good at talking, such as babies in desire boundary, etc., because they have not learned language, when they encounter environmental boundaries, although there are images in the environmental boundary, they cannot discriminate and completely understand those are colors.
(2) Think of no phenomena boundary, i.e., nirvana think, which is afar the ten phenomena: color, sound, incense, taste, touch, man, woman, birth, mutation, and extinction. Nirvana has no phenomena; think in nirvana is named as non-phenomena think. Think is by fetching image as nature, if there are not phenomena, why would we call it a type of think? There is pervasively non-changing constant, such as or turquoise, or yellow, or red, or white, in nirvana. The constants are nameless numberless quantity-less, are not colors, are not phenomena.
(3) Have Summit Think is “neither think nor non-think place” (see fig. 11.4-1) think. As shown in Figures 11.4, 1 through 22, the 22 kinds of environmental boundaries present in everyone, hence 22 haves; however, generally in Buddhism, have refers to the desire boundary, color boundary (fig. 5 to 8), and non-color boundary (fig. 1 to 4). “Have Summit” means it is summit of Three Boundaries, which is “neither think nor non-think sky”. In the sky, there is discrimination, but absent clarity, sentient being there cannot outline kinds of phenomena, therefore think in the sky is named as non-phenomena think.
Note, 16 Sky Door Mountain
Legend has it that the Tree of Life originally had only three nodes, color node, migration node, and sense node. Later, when it was realized that acceptance and think have a great influence on people, they were taken out from migration node, and established the acceptance node and think node. Acceptance is the being fetched; think is the capable to fetch. Acceptance node is the accumulation of what is fetched; think node is the accumulation of capability to fetch. The two fetch habits are the essence of mundaneness, driving all sentients to work night and day, month after year, accumulated two mountains of karma, blocked Adam, and Eve’s path back the Eye-den Garden, hence the name of Sky Door Mountain, came to exist. Fig. 11.4.2&3-16 is the Sky Door Mountain, also known as the Mountain of Twin Peaks, the essence of which is acceptance node and think node.
Illustrations 11.4.2&3 are derived from the Mexican Codex. Figure 36 is a Mexican hieroglyph for mountain, which also means hat. Figure 16 depicts that Mexico (aka Tlaloc) is removing Sky Door Mountain and returning to Middle Earth to establish the Mexican Empire as the first Emperor of Mexico. How did he remove Sky Door Mountain? Answer: Chopping off the roots of the mountain.
The mountain root is the root from which Sky Door Mountain grows. If the mountain root is cut off, then the Mount cannot grow larger. And because the karmic habits are not used, the Sky Door Mountain shrinks. What is the root of the mountain (as in Fig. 17)? Sky Door Mountain is the accumulation of body, mouth, and intent behavioral habits. The ancients believed that the "ancestral cave" best represented body, mouth, and mind behavior, so they called the "ancestral cave" (see fig. 38) the root of the Sky Door Mountain.
How to cut off the root of the mountain? Answer: Abide by the precepts. The first three precepts of the Ten Precepts (see 11.6.2 Equal Stream Fruit, and 11.6.5 Escalatory Fruit) are those that govern bodily behavior, and the fourth through seventh are the mouth precepts, which govern verbal behavior. The last three are intentional precepts, which govern the behavior of intention. Illustration 40 is the mother of rebirth of Mexico, Coatlicue; she then locked up her door of ancestral cave, guarded the door of her ancestral cave carefully.
